We have the advantage, it’s four against one. Not if we split up.

“Can we do that now?” Nate needed to get this under control. How could he possibly propose to her if he was a mess? He should of known better than to say what he had, and part of him actually believed she would just to prove a point. In all honestly, a big reason why he couldn’t do it, was because part of him was still traumatized from the night Timor came to town. “What? No! I think you can do anything you want to do. Anythng you put your mind to. Which is why it was definitely a bad idea to say what I did. Bad idea. I was wrong. One hundred percent wrong. Why do an experiment if you already know the outcome, right? Would you like some cookies? I could totally get you some cookies. Can I get out of the dog house if I bring cookies?”

“You wanna go right now?” Malia wasn’t against it, she just hadn’t expected Nate to say that, but she’d be all for going out and helping him now if that was what he wanted. “We can go now, babe. If you think you’re ready for that.” she nodded, leaning forward and gently kissing his forehead. “It’s gonna be tough though, you know that, right? And if you lose control, I might have to fight you.” the brunette had done that before though and she wasn’t scared to do it again, but it didn’t hurt to tell Nathan once more, did it? And maybe she could motivate her boyfriend to do well out there by combining the two topics at hand. “That depends on how you’ll do out there...” Malia teased with a smirk, pushing herself up to her feet and holding out her hand to Nate so she could help him up too. “You do well, we’ll sleep in the same bed. You don’t do so well, we sleep separately.”

“I can teach you to do both, if you’d like.” Nathan offered with another kiss to the woman’s shoulder. Now that he had a car, he could teach Malia to drive if she wanted. “You’re right, he’s not. But you definitely are, Bambi.” Nathan smiled and leaned forward to kiss her cheek. “World domination sounds interesting. Not boring, anyways. What do you say, be my Queen?” The smile was evident enough in his voice, and honestly, Malia was already a queen to him. Confused when Malia turned the game off, though amused because she hadn’t saved - because it probably didn’t occur to her. Even with her hand over his mouth, however, Nathan was laughing, wrapping arms around the woman in his lap. He nodded a promise to stop talking about it, and removed her hand so he could kiss her nose. “I’m not sure you could go three months without me in bed with you, ‘Lia. And I know I couldn’t.” To dig his point in, his arms wrapped tighter around her, and he shifted so they were now lying at the foot of the bed. “Jynx-ing isn’t scientific, though. And if it was, Stephen King jynx-ed our town a long time ago. I swear his novels are based on our town.”

“I have to teach you first, remember? How To Not Feed From Humans 101?” Malia reminded him, because she was planning on keeping that promise. If she didn’t help him and he didn’t get this under control, then he’d have no life at all - and she wouldn’t have a life alongside him. She wanted Nate to be able to go outside and do things again. Alone, but also with her. He couldn’t stay like this forever and he still had her to keep him from actually killing someone because she knew she could take him if needed. But then he said something that instantly made the hybrid feel challenged and her eyes flashed a bright yellow in response for a moment. You really shouldn’t have said that. “Oh? You think I can’t go three months without sleeping in the same bed with you? Fine, let’s try it out then. Starting right now. Three months, different bedrooms. We can do it.”

Nate chuckled before kissing the back of her shoulder. “If you pressed the gas on a real car, and pressed the brake at the same time - you couldn’t get anywhere. The buttons do different things.” Kissing her shoulder again, he continued to race while showing her what each button did. “Ratchet and Clank is a two player game. Although, I think you might like Zelda.” Nate was terrible at games like Callof Duty, finding they were far too stressful to play. His shoulders were always so tense while playing, and everything was happening too quickly. He enjoyed these games. Although, Beyond Two Souls was a good one, as well. “Are we taking bets at what tries to destroy the town next? My money’s on Tyler.” He made a face when he said the werewolf’s name. “Or a dome. A giant dome covering our town so no one can go in or out, or dig under it. Invisible. Just comes crashing down.” He paused for a moment, shaking his head. “Stephen King came way too close to writing about our town, I swear.”

“Well, I didn’t know that. I’ve never played video games. Or driven a car.” Malia stuck out her lower lip in a childlike pout, though the feeling of his soft lips pressing against her shoulder made it all better. At his next comment, the brunette released a scoff and rolled her eyes at the same time, shaking her head. “Tyler’s nowhere near strong enough to take down Mystic Falls. You and me have a much better chance at doing that if we wanted to. Speaking of, we should try it out. Wreaking havoc, world domination.” she was clearly kidding, though the look in her brown hues remained serious. And then she turned herself around after shutting the console off, shifting herself in Nate’s lap and covering his mouth with the palm of her hand. Now he was listing off potential scenarios that could happen to their hometown and Malia knew that in Mystic Falls, it was all possible. “Stop. Right now. Or you’ll jinx it. Because in this town, it’ll happen and it’ll all be your fault and then there’ll be a moment where I’ll tell you that it was your fault and you can sleep in the garage for three months.” the hybrid then looked pensive, thinking about the words that had just left her lips, pursing them over to one side. “Assuming we’ll have a garage in our new home.”

Nathan pouted for a moment, before pulling Malia into his arms and pressing his lips to her temple. “I know.. And I love you for it.” The woman before him made important points that he was trying to forget about, though he also couldn’t help but laugh at her lack of video game skill. “Here.” Adjusting his arms and himself, so that he sat behind Malia, his hands covered her own. “Like this.” He moved Malia’s fingers in the right position, using his own hands to help her play. “The car doesn’t automatically move. You have to press this button here. And when you’re turning, you quickly press the brakes to glide around the corner.” Nate personally preferred the older systems to the ridiculous new ones, but that was just him. “We could switch to Mario? Or Zelda? Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Pac Man World two - or three or four. Ratchet and Clank is also a good one.” He found it adorable that Malia wasn’t any good at video games; her personally enjoyed them. He actually brought his own systems down into his lab, to play while things processed. They also loosened up the mind to help him think.

Letting someone guide her was a foreign concept to Malia. She’d never given the reigns to anyone in her entire life, but Nate was the first person she’d dared to do that with. It had started in the bedroom, with her making him more confident about himself by letting him take control at times. But it was still a big step to the brunette and that included playing video games - something that she’d never done before. Well, probably a couple of times before she’d been turned into a werewolf, but after eleven years, she didn’t really remember much of that. In fact, it was as if most things from her life prior to being turned into a werewolf had been faded inside of her mind. She could remember some things, but most of them were gone from her memory. Malia had to start all over again once she’d been turned back and it had been quite the challenge. It still was, starting at square one after not having been there ever since she was born. When the other hybrid took a seat behind her and let his hands join in to teach her how to play, Malia looked at the screen to pay close attention. When she was determined, she’d do whatever she could to succeed and this was something she really wanted to learn. “Why can’t I press all the buttons? Wouldn’t it make the car go faster? Maybe that’s why it ran out of gas.” she questioned in confusion. She obviously still had a lot to learn and she barely recognized any of the video games that Nathan was telling her about, but Malia did want to get back into the swing of things. She wanted to learn how to do things again and try to be at least semi normal - if that was even possible. Looking down, her hazel hues fell upon their joined hands on the controller she was holding, softly smiling at the sight before returning her attention back to the game on the screen. “We might as well just kill some time here while they get our new house ready. We should be able to move in next week. You know, if nothing takes it down again. Like a fire or a storm or a blizzard. Or all three.”

Nate was wearing only a pair of boxers, having just got out of the shower ten minutes prior, and scooped up one of the kittens. Attacking Lyra with head kisses, he put her down, only to jog a couple steps towards the bed - and fling himself on it, doing a twist mid air so he landed on his back. Grinning, he turned towards his girlfriend, and smiled at her. “So that was a yes on more kitties, right?” Miss Kitty had given Nate a disapproving stare and love bite when he jumped, as he disturbed her curled up, sleeping body. She had been on a pillow, but now was helpless in Nate’s hands. “You tell her, Miss Kitty. Tell your Momma that you want more siblings. I think you do.” He held the cat up for Malia. “How can you say no to that face?”

The fire had taken down their house, which Malia had already feared. Why was it that they kept having to move to a different place? They’d moved about three times by now already and it was getting annoying. At least, when she’d been in the woods, there was no need to constantly move homes because the entire place was hers. She had free reign there, but this was different. Mystic Falls wasn’t making it easy on her when it came to her trying to make this place her home because things constantly messed that up for her. She and Nate had decided to stay at the hotel for a while - until their new house was finished, so this was their temporary home now. Malia didn’t enjoy it all too much, but she didn’t have much of a choice at the moment. She’d been playing video games for the past ten minutes, but they still didn’t make much sense to her. The hybrid tapped the buttons all at once, not sure which button executed what action, but she was going for it anyway. “Why’s my car stopping? Is it out of gas?” Malia’s eyebrows came together, watching the screen in confusion before looking over to Nate with Miss Kitty. She playfully rolled her eyes and shook her head, pausing the game and getting up to her feet. “Babe, we already have two. And I want to focus more on us. And on helping you and moving into our new home.”

“Hey..” Nate cupped her cheek and looked Malia in the eyes. “I will do whatever it takes to make sure that doesn’t happen, ‘Lia. I promise you.” The idea of even both him and Malia taking the cure wasn’t in the slightest bit appealing - not only would he still not want to pass the werewolf gene down, but sixty years sounded awful when compared to six hundred. When she brought up the bloodlust, he nodded, looking to the girl. “We do. Even her heartbeat won’t stop echoing.. I-I don’t have an urge to hurt her, but.. but Malia, if she were an adult…” If that girl had been fifteen years older, Malia would of had to stop him from feeding. “I’d be lost without you.. you know that?”

Whenever he talked like this, he reminded her of herself. Malia had this overwhelming urge to protect Nate at all times and now he was doing the same thing with her. He’d always been that way, but whenever it happened, she couldn’t help but think of how she behaved in situations like this one. “I know. It’s okay. We’ll fix it. We’ll go out and practice with actual humans. You’ll try to feed and then I’ll protect them from you.” the brunette promised, her hand slowly dropping from Nathan’s face when she noticed that the flames that had surrounded them were dying down, disappearing. “I think it’s gone. Do you think our house is still standing? Or do we have to look for a new place to live now?”
